Hahahaha, Carrie Prejean supporters. Ur so gr8.
Sorry, we're just trying to speak the language of the woman you hold in such high regard, based on a few sentences she uttered.
After Prejean was fired as Miss California yesterday, the inarticulate beauty queen fired back at the pageant. She claimed that the decision was purely political and that she had done everything the organization had asked of her.
Carrie is lying.
Fox News has uncovered a series of emails between Prejean and Miss California director Keith Lewis. In the first, Carrie makes it clear that she expects to be notified of ALL offers that come her way. But does she do it in a calm, reasonable, mature manner? Not even close:
Carrie supporters have erroneously claimed that the pageant was requiring her to take on unreasonable tasks, as a means to forcing her out. One reader suggested Prejean was being made to "do porn" and enter a "hot warzone."
But this email makes it clear just how much Prejean is a bitch did not grasp the concept that she was the employee of a company; as long as she represented them via the crown on her head, she had no right telling her employers what she was planning to do.
Incredibly, Lewis handled the outburst with class and professionalism. He wrote back:
Then, of course, there's the accusation that Miss California officials were somehow forcing Prejean to pose for Playboy. Once again, we turn to electronic mail exchanges as proof to the contrary. Such an offer appears to be the topic of conversation below:
OF COURSE THE PAGEANT CAN MAKE MONEY OFF CARRIE'S APPEARANCES! SHE WORKS FOR IT!
For a final time, to Prejean and her supporters: the First Amendment protects one from being imprisoned for speaking one's mind. It has absoluetly nothing to do with an employee being obligated to behave in a manner that is consistent with her employer's requests.
Otherwise, no one would ever get fired. Hey, you can't let me go for revealing company secrets to our rival? What about freedom of speech?!?
That's all that was ever going on here. Carrie Prejean did not follow the rules stipulated in a contract that she signed. It's not complicated.

You are an idiot. Its unfortunate that you left wingers are so filled with hate and rage! Where, oh where is the tolerance you lefties preach all the time?

Hate and rage my arse, I don't believe any left wing nutcases went and shot up the pageant headquarters or killed some poor security guard because we took exception to this young woman's statements or representing California, now did we?
As for tolerance, I don't particularly care what this young woman thinks and believes. I feel sorry for her in a number of ways, because its my personal belief that true Christianity means not judging your fellow man, loving all mankind equally, and trying to behave in the best possible way to your fellow man. It also sounds like she has some maturity and emotional issues that need dealing with. That said, when she represents *my* state, even in the most frivolous way (a beauty pageant) and makes objectionable statements publicly, she is opening herself up for ridicule, and if she insists on not only standing by those comments, but repeating and amplifying them, she is pretty much asking for whatever public derision she gets.
However, I don't believe that her personal beliefs were why, or should have been, she was fired. She was fired for being a loose cannon, for repeatedly exercising poor judgment, repeatedly violating the terms of her contract, for being an uncooperative employee, and generally making a public spectacle of herself. When she signed that contract, or perhaps I should say, those contracts, she agreed to abide by those terms of the contract, and she also agreed to the penalties, including termination, if she failed to live up to the terms of the contract.
Those terms essentially made her an employee of the pageant, she got certain prizes and cash in exchange for representing the pageant, doing events, and working with pageant officials. She was required to obtain prior written approval for her appearances, she wasn't allowed to associate herself with external groups without their approval, these are not unusual requirements, football players and celebrity spokespeople sign morality clauses where their contracts can be terminated if they do anything to disgrace themselves or taint their teams or corporate sponsors. A Project Runway contestant was fired from the show several seasons ago when he violated the terms of his contract, disappearing from a publicity shoot without permission and bringing contraband materials into the competition.
This is no different. Break the rules, violate your contract, you get the ax. Be a huge pain in the neck, uncooperative and difficult, and you're just asking for it. If any of us sent those emails or publicly behaved in the manner this woman did, and we would have been fired a heck of a lot sooner than she was. Bring a lot of controversy and negative publicity down on the competition, you're going to be more trouble than you're worth, and you're fired.
And I might add, apparently, this is not the first time she was let go for being difficult and less than completely professional. According to an article I just read, her former modelling agent terminated their relationship because she was difficult and fractious, less than completely professional. So this tells me there's a pattern and some behavioral problems that have nothing to do with her beliefs about gay marriage.
